Saturday 26th April 2014
	The highlight of the day was Britain's first Alpine Accentor for ten years in Norfolk, the same county as the last one on 20th April 2004 at Overstrand. Today's individual was seen on the Holme NOA reserve early morning, but it couldn't be found after the initial sightings. Also in East Anglia a Whiskered Tern was seen at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk briefly, and a Black Kite flew over Grafham Water, Cambridgeshire. Lingering rarities included the Collared Pratincole in Devon, Pied-billed Grebe in Clyde, Baikal Teal in Cambridgeshire, two Black-winged Stilts and a Blue-winged Teal in Kent, Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire, King Eider and White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire and Franklin's Gull in Carmarthenshire.
